“SCRABBLE SCORE

Load the program with LOAD "SS". —

After the initial graphics, the screen

will ask, "HOW MANY PLAYERS?". Respond —

by entering a number 2, 3 or 4 and ENTER.

Then the screen asks, "WHAT ARE
THEIR NAMES?".. Enter each name (up to 12
letters) followed by ENTER. After all

the names have been entered, the game

format comes on the screen.

As each name is shown on the screen,
for example, “ENTER NEW WORDS FOR: KEN",
enter the words that that KEN has played.
The computer calculates the number score
for each word, adds it to the previous
score, and brings up the next name. If
the score is zero, just press ENTER.

Since the value of a blank tile is.

zero, for a word with a blank tile in it,
just skip the blank, for example, H(A)T,
key in HT. | | .

For a word that receives a double
score, enter the word twice, for exam-
ple, key HATHAT, then press ENTER.

For a double letter score, just
enter that letter twice, for example,
HATT. —

If you have more than one word, just
keep entering them, for example, MOB NOT
BE (but do not enter spaces between
them). i
For double letters: MOBBNOTBE

For double words: MOBMOBNOTBE

For both: MOBBMOBBNOTBE —

If your multiple words are longer
than 32 characters, then enter your 32
characters and ENTER, then keep pressing
ENTER until your name comes around again
in the phrase “ENTER NEW WORDS FOR:
Name", and enter the rest of your words.

For a double, double word, key in

the word four times before using ENTER.

For a triple, triple word, key in
the word nine times before using ENTER.

For a 50 point bonus at the end of a
game, key in QQQQQ at the end of your
words (the number value for a Q is 10).

At the end of the game, if you have
tiles unplayed, you must subtract these
tiles from your score (unless another
player has used up all of his/her tiles,
then all the left over tiles are added to
that person's score). To subtract let-
ters (as the screen prompts) key ZZ
ENTER, then enter all your letters and

press ENTER. This subtracts these let-

ters from your score. To subtract, each

player must key ZZ ENTER, and then enter
all his/her remaining letters and press —

ENTER. If a player forgets to key ZZ

ENTER, and. therefore adds instead of

subtracts, just key ENTER until their

name "comes around again", and then key —

77 ENTER, then enter the letters twice

and press ENTER. eo
The screen also asks if. you want to

play again with the same (SS) or new (NN)

players. By entering SS or NN and ENTER,

the appropriate routine will be exe-

cuted. | | | |

If you should enter something other
than letters (for example, a number or - —
Q) you will get an “error code" B/470.

T/SsS 200090 Frograms
On The 2086S

by Norm Lehfeldt

The editors of Synchro-Sette
Magazine reported in their March
issue that they have found one T/5
1000-t0-2068 conversion program
that can be made to work. |

It is Firstloader published as a

listing in the December °83 issue
of SYNTAX and available on tape
for $19.95 from E-Z Key, Suite 75-
stx, 711 Southern Artery, Quincy,
MA 02169 (617 773-1187).

In the article, Synchro-Sette
points out that great care must be
taken to be sure you have a clean
copy of the 1000 program you wish
to convert before attempting to
load it into the 2068. #£=They
suggest disconnecting the “ear"

cable during recording as one.

precaution to take. I would also
suggest that new tape of the
highest quality be used and also
that you be sure your machine uses
A.C. erase. Some cheaper machines
use @ permanent magnet as an erase
head and,this can lead to noise
build-up as. the tape passes

through such a machine repeatedly.

Synchro~sette says that once you
have got Firstloader into your
2968, you should position your
1000 program tape past the video
sync buzz into the approximately
five seconds of silence that
precedes the actual program. If
your tape is noisy here, it is
probably too noisy for successful
loading and conversion.

After your program is loaded it
must be edited to replace or
modify such commands as S8sLOw,
FAST, PLOT, SCROLL, etc., which
are absent or different on the
2068.

According to Synchro-sette, they
were able to convert programs
every time as long as the T/S 1000
program tapes were very, very
clean. |

As everyone is aware now, programs

UPLOADING. POGRAMS TO THE 2868)

containing machine code are not
directly convertible. But if you
have some favorite al1-BASIC
programs, you may be able to save

your sel f some time over hand-

keying them into your 2068.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Since the demise of "SYNC" and other publications following the withdrawal of
Timex from the computer market I find it very difficult to find kil programs
for the Timex/Sinclair family of computers, a

Possibly you and the members of your users group have had the same experience.
Even many of the news letters have withdrawn from the market. I plan to
collect and publish the most complete collection of original programs for the
Timex/Sinclair available. However, not having enough time or ability to write
several hundred original programs myself I am asking for contributions from the
various users groups.

I am not asking for free use of any programs, all programs used will result in
some compensation to the contributor, I haven't worked out the exact formula
but something in the neighborhood of 50% of all profits will be divided among
the various contributors. |

What I am looking for is original programs of any type and length. I would
like to select the 50 or 100 best in each of several categories so that a
Timex/Sinclair user could have one group of publications which would supply
him or her with every program they might possibly have a need for.

If any one in your group is interested please have them contact me or send a
listing of any short program they might like to submit for publication. If

the program is very lengthy please include a tape of the program. If you.

want the tape returned please include a self addressed stamped envelope. A simple
statement that you are submitting the program, that it is an original program,
and that it is available for publication provided you get to share in any profits
generated by its publication, would be appreciated.

Credit will be, given to each individual that submits a program also. The categories

I had in mind are: Business, Household, Games, Educetional and possibly others.

1f you would read this at your next meeting and make available the enclosed forms
for any one that is interested I would very much appreciate it. 1 will keep
your group posted on the progress of this undertaking even if no one submits eny
thing for publication, Thanks for your interest end cooperation.

Kind regards,
